The recent pieces and projects go beyond the question of the artwork or the installation, creating airy landscapes which constantly reconfigure themselves. In dialogue with a fragilized world, they reinvent our relationship with reality by suspending its apparent stability and permanence. As though by capillary activity, their atmospheric lightness impregnates the exhibition space and blends with the architecture which suddenly appears to be precarious, elusive, vibratile and liquified. The space seems to turn round, welcoming its own horizon.
The materials employed are so volatile they mix with the air, giving it texture and brilliance, a palpable quality. They sensitively capture every flux, breath, turbulence and light. When moved, they tremble, vibrate, oscillate, forming waves vagues and airwaves, becoming frequencies, sounds and resonances. They increase the presence of the air, rendering it visible and audible.
The artworks do not have a particular form as such, they fill the exhibition space, their extent is unlimited and without hierarchy. The bodies of the visitor-walkers, invited to detach themselves from weight, from gravity, cross the space and become part of it. The absence of narrative places them in an immediacy without refuge and enables an open encounter. Each experience of the artwork is thus unique and constructs meaning.
